逢譚-atan-

A private rental inn "Atan" quietly stands on the banks of the Gojo Takase River This space, where natural materials such as cedar, earth, and Japanese paper breathe quietly, blends into the city of Kyoto, but the flow of time feels gentle. There is a small courtyard through the bathroom window. Just by soaking in the hot water and letting yourself go with the view of the changing seasons, your mind will melt away. Space, quiet, and a little bit of luxury. This is a place for those who want to enjoy time doing nothing rather than packing their schedule while traveling. Wake up in the morning to the soft light through the sliding doors, and end the day quietly at night while watching the shadows fall on the garden. The time here is memorable not only for what you see, but also for the temperature of the air, the feel of the soles of your feet, and the quietness of the sounds. It's nice to talk to someone, or to spend time alone. I hope this place is a place where you can take a little distance from your daily life and check your own outline. The name "Ootan" we wanted to create an inn where you can encounter landscapes, air, people, words, and stories you have never encountered before. A little story will surely be born in this space where you spend your time.

[Kyomachi House for Rent] An inn with an open-air bath and a side view of eight buildings

Relax with your family at this restful place. It is a 10-minute walk from JR Tanbaguchi Station, and appears in a quiet residential area near Shimabara Daimon, a world cultural heritage site, Nishi Hongan-ji Temple, which is a remnant of the flower town. This facility lined with eight buildings has an open-air bath and a rim side where you can see the exterior and tsubo garden with lattices and curtains that are characteristic of the Kyomachiya. Each building has been changed, and it is a wish that it is worthy of a journey where you can feel the detailed and rich sensibility unique to Japan and reflect on the scenes of the story.
